The Ducati home mechanic should find this comprehens­ive book very useful in the workshop. It is written from a D-Y-I mechanic’s point of view, with step-by-step instructio­ns on all aspects of these popular motorcycle­s. Author Cabrera is a well known member of the Spanish Ducati community, going under the name of the Baron Rojo (Red Baron). Signor Baron runs his own specialist Ducati workshop, so he knows how to operate the tools as well as communicat­e the process. Speaking of tools, he even tells how to create special tools at home without spending vast amounts of money on factory items. The book covers tasks from the highly complex to the routine – there’s even a difficulty rating scale for most operations – and is easy to read with many drawings and photograph­s.
